‘if you touch I’d cry’ —this line is amazing. gosh, so few words but so evocative. I can empathize with the feeling, either from pain or loneliness being brought to tears by a simple touch. Just wonderful work, Rick.

I wrote this line at school when I was feeling overwhelmed and wanted to cry - barely keeping myself together.

I can feel that, and for those who couldn’t, your words should let them
